The Cedar Falls Public Library is proud to announce the launch of our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. The program is part of a national literacy initiative to encourage parents and caregivers to read often to their children before they begin school. The program provides a small incentive at each 100-book milestone, and at the 200 and 1,000-book milestones, your child will receive a new book to keep. We will also have periodic graduation ceremonies to recognize children who finish the program. Any child from birth until she/he enters kindergarten is eligible. To register your child, stop by the youth desk at the library. We’d love to get you started! Also, feel free to utilize the >1,000 Books Before Kindergarten App. If you don’t know what to read, check out this book list:
